Body Burdens

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or burdens:

    Somehow the body keeps life going despite the ravaging negations of the mind.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Women are to be lifted up to a physical equality with man by placing upon their shoulders equal burdens of labor, equal responsibilities of state-craft; they are to be brought down from their altruistic heights by being released from all obligations of purity, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and made free of the world of passion and self-indulgence, after the model set them by men of low and materialistic ideals.
    Caroline Fairfield Corbin (b. c. 1835–?)
